Sunday Writing Prompt “Overcoming the Odds”
When they said I couldn’t do it
Did I just gave it up and stepped away
Definitely not
I persisted and went on
When they pointed out that it is difficult
Did you stopped trying and admitted defeat
I hope not
Letting others be the judge of how committed we are
Is like handing over the control of your life to them
Let the flame that is flickering in your soul

Magical
She is more magical
than a sticky-winged butterfly
unfolding from its hard shell,
the vivid arc of a bright rainbow
after the storm,
the muscular power of a thoroughbred

a full silver moon sailing
across a velvet night sky,
a virgin fall of powdery snow
awaiting my skis,
the scent of freshly cut grass
at the end of a summer’s day,
a glass of brunello di montalcino
sipped by the fire,
the staccato gunfire of high heels
crossing a marble floor,
a newly emerged desert flower
ephemeral in the sand.
She is more magical
than fervent wishes
unexpectedly coming true.

Daily Prompts – Be careful
Never be smug about the bounty nature has granted you
Beauty or wealth is transient and can go in a blink of an eye
What is permanent and forever beautiful is the kindness of soul
Nurture it and you will find that charm and magnetism follows
Too much ego and pride are like raiders of the integrity
The would rob your personality when you ride roughshod
Over the dignity of those you perceive of lesser importance
